Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 15730

وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ : أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ بَرَاءَةَ ، فَأَتَى عَلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ : انْفِرُوا خِفَافًا وَثِقَالًا فَقَالَ : أَلَّا أَرَى رَبِّي يَسْتَنْفِرُنِي [شَابًّا وَشَيْخًا جَهَّزُونِي ، فَقَالَ لَهُ بَنُوهُ : قَدْ غَزَوْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَتَّى قُبِضَ ، وَغَزَوْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ حَتَّى مَاتَ ، وَغَزَوْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ فَنَحْنُ نَغْزُوا عَنْكَ . فَقَالَ : جَهِّزُونِي ، فَرَكِبَ الْبَحْرَ فَمَاتَ ، فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا لَهُ جَزِيرَةً يَدْفِنُونَهُ فِيهَا إِلَّا بَعْدَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ فَلَمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ . رَوَاهُ أَبُو يَعْلَى ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) recited Surah al-Tawbah, and when he reached this passage: "Go forth, whether light or heavy" [al-Tawbah: 41], Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I see that my Lord has commanded me to go forth, whether I am young or old, so prepare my provisions for the journey!" His sons said: "You took part in battles with the Messenger of Allah until he passed away, then you took part in battles with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) until he passed away, then you took part in battles with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and now we will fight in your place." He said: "Provide me with my provisions!" Then he set out on a sea voyage, and he passed away during it. The people could not find any island on which to bury him; such an island was found after seven days, yet during that time his body did not decay.
Abu Ya'la recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
